The Company has tightened its full year 2018 production guidance to approximately 50 Mboe/d as a result of gas processing developments and incremental increases reflecting the second closing of the GCII acquisition.

In addition, SRC has adjusted guidance for drilling and completion capital expenditures to approximately $580 million from prior guidance of $540 million. The increase reflects a combination of the additional wells that are now expected to be completed during the year due to efficiency gains, recent acreage trades and acquisitions that have led to higher working interests across our operating areas, as well as higher than expected non-operated activities.
